The Pilatus PC-24 is a versatile and innovative light business jet designed and manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft, a Swiss company renowned for its expertise in producing high-performance aircraft. Introduced in 2014, the PC-24 stands out as the first business jet designed to operate on short, unpaved, and even grass runways, making it uniquely capable of reaching remote airstrips that are inaccessible to many other jets in its class. This capability has earned it the nickname “Super Versatile Jet,” reflecting its adaptability to diverse operational needs.
Powered by two Williams FJ44-4A engines, the PC-24 delivers impressive performance, with a maximum cruise speed of approximately 815 km/h (440 knots) and a range of up to 3,692 kilometers (1,995 nautical miles). The aircraft's cabin is spacious and configurable, accommodating up to 11 passengers depending on the layout. With a flat floor and large cargo door, it offers flexibility for both passenger comfort and cargo transport, making it suitable for roles ranging from executive travel to medical evacuation and special missions.
Equipped with state-of-the-art avionics, the PC-24 features the Pilatus Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE), designed to enhance pilot efficiency and situational awareness. Its rugged design, combined with advanced technology and luxurious interiors, bridges the gap between a turboprop’s utility and a business jet’s speed and sophistication. The Pilatus PC-24 has set a new benchmark in its category, appealing to operators seeking a reliable, versatile, and high-performance jet for diverse applications.
